			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <strong>Schaaf Consulting Acquires PartnerCentric; Creates Affiliate Marketing<br />
Industry&#8217;s Largest OPM</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p>LOS ANGELES, CA (April 6, 2010) – Schaaf Consulting, an affiliate program<br />
management firm, today announced it acquired Internet marketing firm PartnerCentric,<br />
Inc. The combined entity creates one of the largest outsourced program management<br />
(OPM) companies.</p>
<p>The new company, which will be known as Schaaf-PartnerCentric, will be led by<br />
Schaaf Consulting CEO, Brook Schaaf, and headquartered in Los Angeles. PartnerCentric<br />
Founder and President, Linda Woods, will remain with the new company as a strategic<br />
advisor. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are excited to leverage the powerful combination of our two companies<br />
for the benefit of our clients, our partners and our industry,&#8221; Schaaf said. &#8220;We<br />
will be able to bring best practices of two great companies to the affiliate<br />
programs we manage and will continue to deliver innovative, indispensable program<br />
management.&#8221;</p>
<p>The two companies already manage many of the top-performing affiliate programs,<br />
including the eBay Partner Network, 21st Century Auto Insurance, Constant Contact,<br />
SnagAJob.com, Moosejaw Mountaineering and Quicken Loans.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have been working with Schaaf Consulting since 2007, and I haven’t<br />
been this impressed since my best friend’s boyfriend tried to kiss me at<br />
prom,&#8221; said Kate Runyon, Internet Marketing Coordinator at Moosejaw. &#8220;Maybe<br />
that didn’t come out right but you probably get it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woods said she agrees that the clients of both companies will be well-served<br />
by the experience and expertise to be found within the combined company.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a win-win for our clients and affiliates who are going to gain<br />
even more tools and technologies, support and service in order to grow their<br />
businesses,&#8221; Woods said. &#8220;We have enjoyed a long and friendly relationship<br />
with Schaaf Consulting, and we all saw the great potential that would come from<br />
bringing our two teams together.&#8221;</p>
<p>Relationship building with affiliate partners has always been a key strength<br />
of both companies, which will continue to have a dedicated team managing affiliate<br />
development for the eBay Partner Network.</p>
<p>&#8220;If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it&#8217;s that there is no one-size-fits-all<br />
approach to success when you&#8217;re talking about building relationships with quality<br />
affiliates,&#8221; said William Martin-Gill, Director of Internet Marketing at<br />
eBay. &#8220;PartnerCentric&#8217;s team of affiliate managers has helped us develop<br />
our existing and potential publisher base by working closely with publishers<br />
to optimize their sites using our Quality Click Pricing model. They have also<br />
opened our affiliate channel to non-traditional publishers. We know Brook and<br />
Forrest and look forward to what they’ll bring to the combined entity.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>About Schaaf Consulting</p>
<p></strong>Brook Schaaf and his brother, Forrest, joined forces to create Schaaf<br />
Consulting in 2006. Los Angeles-based Schaaf Consulting now employs a team of<br />
seven full-time workers and manages programs for a variety of top performing<br />
clients including Moosejaw Mountaineering, Intuit Websites and Constant Contact.<br />
Schaaf Consulting is the winner of the 2008 Ad:Tech Limelight Award for Best<br />
Affiliate Marketing Campaign.</p>
<p>Previously, Brook Schaaf was the Affiliate Program Manager for Zappos.com, Shoes.com<br />
and Edmunds.com. Schaaf Consulting is a charter member of the Performance Marketing<br />
Association, for which Brook serves on the board of directors. For more information,<br />

<p></strong>Founded in 2004, PartnerCentric was among the first Outsourced Program<br />
